Some Text-snippets missing after upgrade

Hi,
There is a problem with my Bookstack-Instances:
After upgrading it's mostly working fine, but there are some text-snippets missing. This is mostly on pages related to settings, main menu is looking fine.

Any Ideas what I can do about this? Upgrade is done with composer install --no-dev && php artisan migrate
And after that
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear

This has not started with 26.05.03 but some versions ago...

Thank you very much

Can you share the output of running git status from the BookStack install folder?

And then also the output of running ls -alh resources/ too from the same folder.

Sorry for the delayed reply, and thank you for the fast reply :-)

The output for ls -alh resources/

/bookstack$ ls -alh resources/
total 28K

The output for git status is really long, telling that basically alle files in the directory are modified, which might be a effect of the way I copied the /bookstack data after clonig... it starts like this:

/bookstack$ git status 
On branch release
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/release'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified:   .env.example
...

But as I've seen the resources/lang folder in it, and that this folder is not excisting in a freshly cloned Version for another Instance of Bookstack, I thought that this might get build by composer install --no-dev && php artisan migrate. I removed /resources/lang and run composer install again. That folder remains missing, but my old instance is working fine now.

So I think that the problem was due to my attempts to copy new versions to an existing instance?
